Hi Bill,
Late this past Fall we added the ability to change the data a data source 
points to by right-clicking on the
data source in the field selector and choosing "Change Data".  This brings up 
the data chooser in a modal dialog
and allows you to choose a new source.  

That said - the problem is in the displays in your bundle. When you first load 
up the original bundle the data source is in error and the displays won't be 
created. You can go and change the data source to point to something that works 
but the displays aren't there.  We'll have to figure something out to deal with 
this scenario.
